Lambing and few other things...

Here we are...four more Ewes to go! We started with the lovely doeling from Molly.




Then we had a litter of puppies...we did not expect all eight of them!!



















A VERY close third was Baby Ruth with her twins




















Then it was Gretl later on in the day.















Patience suprised us all when she lambed, we thought she would be later.





Leise lost her ram lamb but Almond Joy had her twins the next day.













Those four ewes can take their time because we have a lot going on already!

Ready, set...Where are the Lambs?

We just finished up the Lambing pens. They look great! Vance really worked hard and we are about a week out. Actually they already have an occupant in there...check this out!




















The Shetlands will be moving into the pens this weekend and then we will be really busy. Here are some more pics of them in the field...

The Waiting Game....

So here we are looking at our Girls getting Bigger and Bigger. I took a few pics and I must say that I am REALLY starting to wonder about Almond Joy. Last year she gave us two wonderful Lambs but look how big she is already...


The reason that I wonder is because her Mother was known to have Triplets.


More Great news here is that we have added two more Great Pyrenees to our Farm a few days ago. They do not have names yet and the previous Owner did not really interact with them so I have been Visiting, Talking to them...just Welcoming them to the Farm. I think that it will all be fine once everyone is settled in.




















Here are a few of our Pregnant Does...






Finally, Here is a new Game...Name that Butt!





So... Between Now and Lambing/Kidding we will be making some Birthing Pens, Double Checking our Supplies and just waiting...

Lately

Well the end of the Year is close, I personally am hoping for a better time in 2010. I am considering adding a few more Ewes to the Flock and perhaps a few more Angoras as well but not too many. Sunday we added a new Ram, his name is Charles. Check him out...













For Thanksgiving we travelled to my In laws and had a great time like always. The Food was AMAZING! as well as the Company. I REALLY REALLY love all of my Extended Family. There was an Egret that ate most of Hoss' Fish in his Pond but he bought some more and has put in a Heron Decoy. I hope that works and doesn't attract too many Herons for the Breeding Season...that would be funny though.












We were hoping to get some of the Satsumas off of the Tree but the Raccoons beat us to them and all they left were the Peels...Grrr Hopefully next year there will be a better harvest.
















Speaking of a better Harvest...Check these Bananas out! My Niece and Nephew bought a new place and these were in the Backyard. Just open the back door and Lop off whatever you need. I really liked that, It was the first time I had seen a Banana Tree in Bloom.

What is that?

Well, I have been told about these nests on our property but I just don't know who they could belong to. My guess is an Owl or possibly a Hawk? What do you all think?







While I was out there I thought I would take some pictures of the property. I love this time of year it is nice enough to be outside and not have Heat Stroke.





























Also, here are some pictures of Greta, Leise and Rhodes. They are one of our breeding groups. I am very excited to see what we will get in the Spring...






We have added a new member of the Family. She is a Stray rescued from Hernando just outside of Higher Ground (Coffee Shop). Her name is Scratch and it has been a week since she has been in our lives.
